I love Cribbs, but at this point in his career isn't this a classic case of the Redskins signing a FA who's past their prime and will never live up to what they were at their previous teams_________________RIP SSFmike23md

Maybe, but it is not a "Same old Redskins" situation unless they WAY overpay him. If they can get him at a modest price for a year or two and not an 8 year 120 million dollar deal (slight exaggeration) then it's not a bad move._________________YOU LIKE THAT?

while true, are we going to cut a player who's under 25 to sign him? A player who could develop into more than a few year rental in a few years. I think it's better to stay put at WR as I've said all along_________________RIP SSFmike23md

Josh Cribbs by the numbers:

Top three receptions in a season: 41 (2011), 23 (2010), 20 (2009)
Top three yardage season totals: 518 (2011), 292 (2010), 135 (2009)
Top three TD season totals: 4 (2011), 1 (2008, 2009, and 2010)
Top three YPC season totals: 12.7 (2010), 12.6 (2011), 12.3 (2007 (he only caught three balls that season))

Exactly why would we want him? Because he's a return specialist? He'll be entering his ninth season and we'd have to pay him accordingly. On the other hand, we can take one of our rookies and pay him a third what we would for Cribbs and maybe also get some offensive numbers out of him as well.

Exactly - He really hasnt done anything at all in the past 3 years. 1 total return touchdown, on a punt two years ago. I dont think he is really even a "return specialist" I would think most of our dbs and wrs would have a decent chance at .33/year. And he will be 30 in 3 weeks.

He peaked 6 years ago. http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/C/CribJo01.htm He was awesome then, but i feel like return guys have a much shorter life span in the NFL than really any other position. Who was the cheifs guy a few years ago? And who was that guy that played for the Redskins? Brandon B__?
